I always believed that there were none, but on a rewatch of QI, I learned there are actually two:
- Hurple / hirple: To limp (verb) or a limping gait (noun)
- Curple: A strap under the girth of a horse’s saddle to stop the saddle from kicking forward.

Good morning, that’s a nurple tnetennba.
You mean to tell me you’ve never slurpled a nurple?
I love burple nurples

A horse that was wearing a curple,
Found the sting of a wasp made him hirple,
Said the horse, “I don’t mind”
“But I’m starting to find,”
“That the spot of the sting has turned purple!”I regret that I have but one upvote to give.
I’ll treasure it always :-)
Take my upvote
Don’t forget door hinge
…guess the song’s over, then.
And a “chilver” is a female lamb
Nurple. As in
“C’mere twerp! I’m about to give you the worst purple nurple of yer life!”
If you’re interested in words, Something Rhymes with Purple is a podcast with Susie Dent and Gyles Brandreth.
Whenever Gyles is on Qi, about half the episode is him going off on an anecdote.
Edit: Fixed spelling
Whenever Giles is on Qi, about half the episode is him going off on an anecdote.
I think it’s Brandreth? Not gonna lie, those are some of the best ones. You never know if what he’s saying is 100% true because he was there or 100% out of his ass. Either way, you leave entertained.
I will go back and rewatch his episodes just to hear the fun Grandpa stories!
(Also, fixed the spelling, I got that all kindsa wrong)
I just googled him. lol. I had the last name right, but his first name is spelled with a ‘y’.
What is light urple?
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Is that not the gentleman named Urple? The humorous fellow with glasses, who likes cheese?

Maple surple
Sorry, Alan.
Nope. But I think I might have had that on my pancakes yesterday
I like blurple: a mix of blue and purple.
Unfortunately, it’s not a real word although it absolutely should be. There are car paint colors that I can only accurately describe as “blurple” lol.
“Real” words aren’t a thing.
Dictionaries describe natural language, they don’t define it.
Yes I knew it’s not real. But I like to think it is. I would like a car with blurple racing stripes!
